14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS

The 14th "Galician" Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS was a volunteer division of the German Waffen-SS that existed from 28 April 1943 to 15 April 1945. The division was initially made up of ethnic Ukrainians from Eastern Galicia, but volunteers from Slovakia, the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, and the occupied Netherlands would also serve in the division. In 1944, the division was destroyed in the Lwow-Sandomierz Offensive, and the division fought in Slovakia, Yugoslavia, and Austria before surrendering to the US Army at Graz on 10 May 1945 after taking 1,600 losses in Austria.
